Fans Think the Baby in Taylor Swift’s New Track Is the Child of *This* Squad Member

Normally, when Taylor Swift releases a new tune, the internet immediately tailspins into a tizzy trying to figure out which of the songstress’s high-profile lovers she’s crooning about with her tell-tale lyrics.

With her latest track, “Gorgeous,” however, there was little doubt that she was singing about her current BF of one year, Joe Alwyn — particularly since she reportedly told fans at a recent listening party just that.

Still, there was still one mystery surrounding its release that fans were eager to solve, and it revolved around its opening line.

The song opens with the sound of a toddler sounding out its title, “Gor-Geous.” But whose toddler is it? According to a Tumblr post, which Swift herself reportedly commented on, only “300 people” (the ones at the aforementioned listening party, no doubt) know the answer to that question.

Now, the fan theories have begun to circulate, with one front runner in particular coming out on top: squad member Blake Lively’s eldest daughter James.

It would sort of make sense: As you’ll likely recall, the “…Ready For It?” singer WAS one of the first to visit the mommy of two in the hospital after her second daughter, Ines, was born. Not to mention that the similarities, as one fan pointed out, between a young Swift, now 27, and James ARE pretty striking.

There are several other theories, as well, however, including Swift’s Godson, Leo, who is the son of actress Jaime King…

…and a young Swift herself.

So which one is it? We guess we’ll just have to wait until the songwriter decides to share her secret with the rest of the world… or one of the other 300 peeps in-the-know cracks!

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin talked to PEOPLE this week to give us a peak inside their upcoming reality show, life as a family of nine, and potentially having...more kids?! While the couple chatted about their adorable, large family, Hilaria opened up about how their household could grow in the future — and how that would ultimately impact her. From what Alec actually said about how many kids he wants to how Hilaria responded, here's what went down.

Scroll to see what what Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin said about having more kids!

Now, let's just address the elephant in the room — Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have SEVEN kids already — a pretty sizable family, if you ask us. However, Hilaria told PEOPLE, "He's always asking me for more kids."

After Hilaria said that, Alec quipped back to the reporter, "Don't judge me." However, the 30 Rock actor elaborated further, saying, "I don't really want one." He explained that what really happens is, "every now and then, when the baby gets older and grows up to be about 2, I look at [Hilaria] and I go, 'Time to have another.'"

And Hilaria doesn't disagree completely, but she's also not fully on board either. She said, "They're so cute, but my body's really tired." Amen, sister!

How many kids do Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin have?

Do you love dogs yet dread the constant cleaning that comes with shedding? Countless people can relate.

But while every dog owner knows a little fur is inevitable, certain breeds are known for being lower-shedding.

Whether you suffer from allergies or just want to reduce the time you spend cleaning up hair around your living space, here are 12 low-shedding dog breeds that'll make great additions to your household (without the mess).

Scroll to find out the best low-shedding dog breeds!

1. Poodles

Goochie Poochie Grooming

Poodles are known for their hypoallergenic coats, so they shed very little and are ideal for anyone seeking a low-shedding pet.

This breed also comes in three sizes, the Standard, Miniature, and Toy, and is easy to train due to its high intelligence. Just keep in mind that, regardless of their size, all Poodles require regular grooming to keep their curly coats free from mats and tangles.

2. Bichon Frise

RDNE Stock project

Just like the Poodle, the Bichon Frise is another breed that features a hypoallergenic coat. These dogs are tiny, cheerful, and popular due to their friendly nature.

Plus, they're known for being very smart and trainable, making them great family pets that keep clean up around the house to a minimum.

3. Labradoodle

Originally bred as a hypoallergenic service dog, the Labradoodle is a cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle.

These dogs inherited low-shedding coats, thanks to Poodle parents, and are favored for their friendly and affectionate nature. They thrive when given plenty of exercise and early socialization.

4. Maltese

Katya Wolf

Malteses are adorably tiny and cuddly hypoallergenic dogs prized for their silky white coats. They make playful and loving companions, but owners have to stay on top of their grooming routine.

If you prefer that your Maltese has a longer coat, regular maintenance is important to prevent any mats. Otherwise, keeping a shorter "puppy" cut can make grooming much easier.

5. Yorkshire Terrier

JÉSHOOTS

Affectionately referred to as "Yorkies," Yorkshire Terriers are little hypoallergenic dogs with big personalities. They crave attention and are very loyal to their owners.

These pups also shed minimally and can adapt well to a range of households, from cozy apartments to spacious homes.

6. Schnauzers

Sebastian Coman Travel

You may not know that there are three Schnauzer breeds, including the Miniature Schnauzer, the Standard Schnauzer, and the Giant Schnauzer. Despite their size differences, all three are low-shedding.

Miniature Schnauzers are revered for their intelligence and typically weigh between 10 and 20 pounds. Standard Schnauzers, on the other hand, are also known for their smarts and enjoy long walks and mental stimulation. They just can weigh as much as 45 pounds.

Giant Schnauzers can reach up to 85 pounds and are some of the largest hypoallergenic dogs. To keep these pups happy, give them a lot of playtime and exercise.

7. Havanese

The Havanese is a little, playful breed that's popular for its charming personality and silky coat that doesn't shed much.

These furry friends adore human interaction, making them devoted companions, and are considered low-shedding. All they need is some regular grooming to keep their coat smooth and tangle-free.

8. Italian Greyhound

Alina Skazka

Italian Greyhounds are sleek and elegant, featuring short, smooth coats that barely shed. Contrary to what their graceful appearance might suggest, these dogs are also very playful, affectionate, and sensitive.

If you're searching for a sophisticated yet loving dog that doesn't require a lot of cleanup, this breed may be your perfect match.

9. Portuguese Water Dog

Julissa Helmuth

Portuguese Water Dogs were first bred to work alongside fishermen. Today, they're regaled for their energy and athleticism, making them a great option for active families.

These dogs also have hypoallergenic fur and don't shed much. If you're an outdoor enthusiast who wants to maintain a fur-free home, the Portuguese Water Dog might be the pet for you.

10. Basenji

Elina Volkova

This unique, cat-like breed is famous for its barkless nature. It actually makes a distinctive "yodel" sound!

Basenjis are very intelligent, playful, and sometimes mischievous, with a high prey drive. Additionally, they don't shed a lot, have minimal grooming requirements, and are often free from usual canine odors.

11. Shih Tzu

Edyttka Stawiarska

The Shih Tzu was initially bred as a companion pet in China and has remained a famous lap dog to this day. They love human company and usually stick to their owners' sides.

But while they're low-shedding, these dogs will still grow a long, luxurious coat that requires regular grooming. Otherwise, you can keep it trimmed shorter for easier maintenance.

12. Brussels Griffon

Mladen Šćekić

Lastly, the Brussels Griffon is a small breed with a rough coat that's non-shedding and simple to groom. That's why these dogs are stellar choices for anyone seeking a low-maintenance pet.

In terms of temperament, Brussels Griffons are smart, affectionate, sensitive, and quite cuddly.

Colleen Hoover's Instagram account is back! After deactivating her account (which had more than 2M followers) amid Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively's ongoing legal battle — from THAT behind-the-scenes video to Blake Lively's lawsuit to Taylor Swift getting dragged in — the It Ends With Us author is back on the social media platform. There's just one catch: there are no photos with Justin or Blake anywhere on her page.

Here's what we know about Colleen Hoover's Instagram amid the It Ends With Us drama.

Colleen Hoover's Instagram leaves 'It Ends With Us' readers very confused.

Colleen Hoover reactivated her Instagram account on February 12, but it looks like she's hidden all the pictures with Blake and Justin (aside from a few official movie & casting announcements). The author (and It Ends With Us for that matter) is no stranger to internet drama, even if January was the first time Colleen has taken a step like deactivating her Instagram, although after the cast unfollowed Justin Baldoni and the drama began in August, she did make her TikTok private. And, honestly, readers were super confused.

"Colleen Hoover deactivated her IG after [Justin's video] came out now idk what the hell that’s supposed to mean," one X user tweeted.

Readers have long discussed whether the book romanticizes domestic abuse, and in January 2023, Colleen issued an apology after collaborating on an It Ends With Us-themed coloring book.

"The coloring book was developed with Lily's strength in mind, but I can absolutely see how this was tone-deaf," the author said on her Instagram stories at the time. "I hear you guys and I agree with you. No excuses. No finger pointing. I have contacted the publisher to let them know I would prefer we don't move forward with it. Thank you for the respectful discourse and accountability. Nothing but love."

Colleen Hoover hasn't spoken on the ongoing battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, but at the It Ends With Us premiere in New York, after Justin Baldoni said Blake Lively should direct the potential It Starts With Us sequel, Colleen did weigh in.

"Whoever decides to take charge of the next one would do it justice," she told ET. "I think they're all in it for the right reasons."

Both Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have found support with friends and coworkers outside the It Ends With Us cast. Justin's Jane the Virgin costar Gina Rodriguez told People in September that "sweet, sweet soul" Justin is "my brother forever. Forever and ever."'

Meanwhile Blake's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, and Amber Tamblyn issued a statement supporting the actress after she sued Justin for sexual harassment.

"As Blake's friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation," the statement reads. "We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can still face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe work environment. We are inspired by our sister's courage to stand up for herself and others."

As much as we'd love to hear that BridgertonSeason 4 is releasing earlier than next year, we'll have to settle for as many teasers and first looks as we can get for now! Fans already know Yerin Ha will be stepping into Sophie Baek's shoes alongside Luke Thompson as Benedict, but Netflix finally released something that'll keep us satiated for a while. We can't promise much else — except these two are clearly going to make our hearts race when they're finally on-screen.

Here's the official Bridgerton Season 4 first look with Sophie & Benedict!

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Benedict's always been one of the lighthearted Bridgerton siblings, but Season 3 showed up just how, uh, free he can be. While he and Eloise did discuss their mutual feelings of wanting to explore life, it seems our loving bachelor is set on finding love in unexpected places.

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Benedict may not have fallen in love with Tilley, but it appears he's head over heels for Sophie and we think it's adorable. But, there's one glaring problem: Sophie's a maid who has plenty of secrets.

Never before have any of the Bridgerton children gotten romantically involved with someone who's in another social class, so this already sounds scandalous.

Liam Daniel/Netflix

Ah, but what will the watchful Queen Charlotte think? Remember, she was certain she was going to expose and punish Lady Whistledown before Penelope's moving speech got her to change her mind. We can only guess how she'll feel about the Bridgertons once she learns of Benedict and Sophie's forbidden romance.

In the meantime, we're already dreaming up as much as we can about this exciting season with these pictures! Oh, and did we mention there's a video too?!

Seriously...season 4 can't come fast enough!!!

We can't wait to see how Benedict and Sophie's love shakes up the Ton in Season 4. We're sure Queen Charlotte and Lady Danbury will have much to discuss!

Lately, we don't have to look far for doomsday news or potential policies that make us feel like a dystopian future will soon be our reality. Although we like to joke about it, we've seen pop culture seemingly predict our current societal and political landscape via everything from episodes of the The Simpsons to the books we've read over the years, wondering how these fictitious communities could experience horrible environments at the hands of others' decisions.

Since art is often bred from very real feelings about history's patterns, we think it's time to open a few relatable books. In our eyes, unprecedented times call for reading thought-provoking work that may seem bleak, but offers hope set in motion by one person's courage in the face of oppression and fear. These are the best dystopian books you should read in 2025.

Here are 15 dystopian books to read if you're tired of doom scrolling on social media.

Amazon

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Guy Montag's job as a fireman isn't like what you or I are used to. Instead of saving the lives of those affected by fires, he and his co-workers set them because it's a crime to have books in one's home. He does his job well and comes home to the passionless marriage he has with his wife Mildred, running on a mindless loop. It isn't until he meets a teenager named Clarisse that he begins seeing the world through her eyes and it makes him uncomfortable.

Underneath that discomfort is the knowledge that he's been keeping a secret all along and will have to decide which side of history he wants to be on.

Amazon

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

Even if you've never read the book or watched the hit TV series, chances are you've heard about The Handmaid's Tale. It's ruffled feathers to the point it's made it to the banned books list, but author Margaret Atwood's message is loud and clear: women's reproductive rights could become weaponized.
She begins her tale in the aftermath of a second Civil War that's dismantled "normal" America. As such, the Republic of Gilead has been set in place that's meant to remind men and women how things used to be. With men holding positions of power and fertile women being enslaved to help regrow the population comes a sordid tale of oppression and abuse.
However, one maid's memories and desire to break free from her horrible role encourages her to stage one of the biggest coups.

Amazon

The Power by Naomi Alderman

The Power places decisions in the hands of young girls who aren't typically afforded it. Readers will meet several characters like a wealthy Nigerian boy and a tough-as-nails girl, but what's shocking is what happens when something ignites teenaged girls with something powerful. If they choose, these girls can cause great harm to others or even end their lives.
It's a far cry from the idea that young girls are weak and powerless in a world that seeks to tame them.

Amazon

However, there's a false underbelly of the Camp and it works its magic on Sarat.
Before long, she's become a weapon for a war that'll change the lives of everyone.

Amazon
